Tho roses enumerated aro such as
1 hnvo grown on my own grounds
nnd know to bo satisfactory In every
respect. Deforo I take up tho Indi
vidual roses, It might bo well to mako
n conclso reference to tho two grand
divisions of Queen Robii'h kingdom
and point out tho difference between
tho Tea and Monthly Hoses and Hy
brid PerpetunlB.
Tho former mnke constant growth
nnd new flower buds all through the
Bummer and arc therefore very prop
erly termed ovcr-bloomlng. Hut tho
nppollatlon of tho latter Is u mlanomer,
for they do not bloom perpetually, aa
'tho name would indicate, producing
only one crop of flowers In June, with
an occasional blossom In autumn.
Unfortunately, tho tea-roses are not
entirely hardy in our northern climate
and, If planted at all, require winter
protection. Tho Hybrid Perpctuuls, on
tho other hnnd, nro perfectly hardy
and vigorous, and distinguished by
lino follngo and magnificent llowers,
both as regards bIzo of bloom and
color, which explains why they con
tinue to bo tho most popular roses,
There Is, for Instance, our old Hy
brid Perpetual friend General Jacque
minot, familiarly known as "Jack,"
which still holds first place among
tho dark rod roses and Ib simply a
mnss of bloom when at Its beat.
Paul Noyron, by far the largest rose
In cultivation, nnd one of tho moBt
prolific bloomers, is of n deep, clear
pink color nnd very deslrablo as n

tion In form, nnd In color they aro a

bloomer, it Ib one of tho host roses
for the urban or suburban gnrden and
should not bo omitted from any col

of value for tho opon ground. Owing
to tho toughness of Its largo, heavy
foliage, It Is especially free from mil
dew nnd Insect attacks. It Is perfect
ly hardy nnd blooms twice and some
times thrice In a senson.

Hot Weather Drink.
Philip Hale, one of Boston's latter

water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather thnn "Ice-cold" blends of wa

his favorite tipple is as follows:
"For three pints of water you will
require a teacupful and a half of well
washed pearl barley, four lumps of
BUgar and tho thin rind and juice of
ono lemon. Pour boiling water over
It, cover with a saucer nnd let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour Into a Jug."
A buttermilk fan adds:
"Then set the jug lu a cool place
and forget It."

went down town one Saturday after
noon recently and returned with his
arms full of books.
"Well, Teddy," Inquired his enthusi

in getting what you wanted?"
"Sure, I did!" he replied, proudly,
pointing to the books. "I bought a

A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: "I was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
somo reasoif, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
"After I had run down seriously
my attention was called to tho neces

I discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity of rich cream.
"In n few days my condition

began to have a strength that I had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and a poise of mind that
amazed me. It was entirely new In
my experience.
"My former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat llashos,
and many times my condition was dis
